OCALA TRAIL - Florida, USA

Part of the much longer Florida Trail (which runs from the Panhandle to the Everglades), the Ocala Trail features some of the most interesting scenery in Florida, including natural springs, bald cypress, moss-covered oaks, several kinds of pine forests, interesting birds, and, or course, alligators. The 71-mile trail can be enjoyed as a series of day hikes or as a backpacking trip.

Sections of the Ocala Trail feature oaks with a dramatic understory of saw palmetto.
